My Husband And I Went To Cambodia, And All I Got Was This Stupid Blog

Maybe I should look into making a living as a psychic.

Green, choppy waters make for a green, choppy Me. I lasted about five minutes, awaiting other passengers, on that little boat that makes the runs to and from the ship and shore. The terrible rocking of the boat, coupled with the indeterminate wait, made me quite ill.

I sent Ken on to Cambodia, though. There is no sense in him being bound to this vessel because his wife tossed her cookies. I know that he really wanted to go to Cambodia and I would never want to deny him that, especially for such a predictable reason: my grumpy stomach.

I am upset, though: to miss an entire country on the cruise just because I cannot handle the seasickness! What does give me a little bit of solace is that I am certainly not alone in my suffering. The ship is packed with people who cannot or will not brave the waves in those smaller tenders. Even this big old boat is rocking back and forth quite a bit at anchor.

Partly out of boredom, partly to take my mind off my stomach, and partly because it's the way I roll, I did manage to give myself a pedicure back in our suite. Green water, green face, sexy toenails. Essie's Ballet Slippers. Perhaps the greatest color ever created, and it's hardly a color at all.

Off to get some lemonade in the Windjammer Cafe. It's been a real saving grace for me when I am seasick.

Good Morning From Cambodia, And A "Sickened Grimace" Update

The water is incredibly green here, and very choppy! I am usually not prone to seasickness, but I am wondering about the tender ride to shore with such waves. Cambodia is a bit off in the distance; I can see the shore, beckoning to us weary cruisers, if I crane my neck a bit to the right whilst standing on our balcony.

Ken is having a very sleepy morning, so I decided to come here and be robbed and raped a bit more (the prices for Internet access are beyond outrageous...fifty-five cents per minute!). We are just going to take it easy today, have a relaxing sunny day on the beach. The weather has been wonderful, by the way. We had a large thunderstorm lash the ship last night as we made our way from Thailand to Cambodia. I awoke during it, and I admit that it was a little scary! But today brings us bright sunny skies, and wonderful warm water, and I look forward to seeing that knucklehead I married frolic in the waves. He LOVES the beach.

"Sickened Grimace" Update: we got the proofs for the photographs that were taken when I was, um, not feeling my absolute best. Three of the four were decent shots, but the fourth is really spectacular, actually. It is a beautiful picture of the two of us, if I do say so myself. Go figure.

I hope that all is well with all of you. I am starting to really miss the cats, so I guess that it is good that we are heading home soon.
